A wolf, who was out searching for a meal, saw a goat feeding
on grass on top of a high cliff. Wishing to get the goat to climb down
from the rock and into his grasp, he called out to her.

"Excuse
me, dear Goat," he said in a friendly voice, "It is very dangerous
for you to be at such a height. Do come down before you injure yourself.
Besides, the grass is much greener and thicker down here. Take my advice,
and please come down from that high cliff."

But the
goat knew too well of the wolf's intent.

"You
don't care if I injure myself or not. You don't care if I eat good grass
or bad. What you care about is eating me."
